Abstract
The invention relates to a heat transmission unit for a motor vehicle, comprising a fan cowling (12) and at least one heat exchanger (14) connected thereto. In order to provide an improved heat transmission unit which can be especially produced in an economical manner an which enables easy connection to the heat exchanger to the fan cowling especially during pre-assembly of the cooling module, the heat exchanger (14) is maintained on the fan cowling (12) by means of its manifolds (18, 20).
Claims11
A heat transmission unit for a motor vehicle comprising:
- a fan cowling (12) which comprises a bottom portion (26);
- and
- at least one heat exchanger (14) connected thereto;
- wherein the heat exchanger (14) is retained on the fan cowling (12) via manifolds (18, 20) of the heat exchanger (14) which have been inserted into openings (28,30) in a bottom portion (26) of the fan cowling (12);
- wherein a mounting is formed by clips (48) which are arranged on the fan cowling (12) and into which the heat exchanger (14) can be clipped by its manifolds (18, 20).
A heat transmission unit comprising:
- (a) a fan cowling comprising:
- (i) a bottom portion with an opening therein;
- and
- (ii) a clip;
- and
- (b) at least one heat exchanger comprising:
- (i) a heat exchanger network;
- and
- (ii) a manifold which comprises an upper end and a lower end;
- wherein the upper end of the manifold is clipped to the cowling via the clip and the lower end of the manifold is inserted in the opening in the bottom portion of the cowling.
